Clothing Concerns
To keep clothes looking white or bright, use good washing
practices at all times to prevent a gradual build-up of soil or
water hardness minerals on them. If you notice that your
clothes are not as bright as they should be, take corrective
measures immediately.
Problem
Cause
Solution
Gray or Dingy Clothes
Insufficient Detergent
Add recommended amount of low-suds-
ing detergent to dispenser drawer be-
fore loading clothes.
Mild detergents are not suitable for
average soil.
Improper Sorting
Wash whites separately. Separate light
from heavily soiled items. Clothes can
pick up soil from dirty wash water.
Nonphosphate Detergent and Hard Wa-
ter
Follow package directions. Soften water
if possible.
Water Not Hot Enough
White clothes will stay whiter with hot
wash water. Increase temperature.
Yellowed Clothes
Unremoved Soil
Skin soil is hard to remove. Check hem
edge of sheets and pillowcases, bottom
end of t-shirts, etc. If this portion is
white and center is yellow, the fabric
contains unremoved soil. Use sufficient
detergent and a hot wash. Chlorine
bleach may be needed.
Clothes Stained from Iron in the Water
To test for an iron stain, use a rust re-
mover that is recommended for use
with washing machines on a portion of
the garment. Follow bottle directions for
larger items.
Older Clothes
Some white fabrics turn yellow with age
and cannot be whitened.
Clothes Tearing or Damaged
Improper Use of Chlorine Bleach
No correction for bleach damaged
clothes.
Always keep level at or below maximum
in bleach dispenser compartment.
Insufficient Precare
Fasten all hooks and zippers. Mend
tears. Remove objects from pockets.
